Many people are more likely to retain information seen in a video than read in a boring text. Videos are very helpful for conveying whatever message you want to share. There are also many perks for launching videos as blog entries. Videos for one are very easy to share. It is easier to convince people to watch a video right on their social media pages than to get them to open a link and read a long text in a separate web page. In fact, this type of medium is so pervasive in the Internet these days that anyone who is comfortable and eloquent when speaking should try it. Videos are the ideal mediums for selling your expertise and knowledge when it comes to how-to procedures, like cooking, DIY arts and crafts, decorating, and the like. Videos in education are just unrivaled. You still have to do some writing. Yes, you’re creating visual content and you don’t need to publish paragraphs, but visual content is content nonetheless. You still need to plan the intro, the body, and the conclusion. Even if you memorize it, the fact of the matter is you need material to memorize—and that means written content. Speaking of content, most people even write out the entire script of the video instead of extemporaneously speaking at a camera, unless if they are absolute experts in their respective fields that they don’t need any cue cards or idiot boards. It’s safer to have at least a guide in front of you because you can be sure that you don’t leave out important points of what you’re talking about. If you’re planning to appear on the camera, it won’t hurt to practice in front of a mirror. Also practice modulating your voice and speaking clearly. What your audience will see in the background does count too. Your little brother playing with his Lego or your room in a mess will not earn you brownie points! Don’t make your videos too long. Five minutes is actually a lifetime already, unless if you’re producing lecture videos. Last but not least, you must have a decent camera to take videos with. People will always appreciate high-quality videos, but you don’t really have to make your clip an expensive production. A decent camera that will register a clear and crisp video will do.
